Hello all you new friends! I write, I read, I enthuse about various TTRPGS, and I'm part of the British Fantasy Society. My signature karaoke song is the Cutting Crew's I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight. My cat has 3 legs and a hard stare. I'm older than I look.

That flesh, like all of their flesh, was pale and sagging, shot through with thick, dark veins. The head of one horse-like creature trembled and a section of its neck slid off, breaking into chunks and dust as it fell, but the beast didn't collapse. All That Is in the Earth Andrew Knighton

Cover of Fight Like A Girl #2. Art by Oisin McGann. Image is of a brown-skinned girl in light armour wielding a Very Big Sword. She is surrounded by images of other things she might use to fight, not all of them obviously weapons.

Ok, this hotel carpet is not at all creepy.
Selfie shot including a hotel corridor carpet very similar to that of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining.

Excellent position for @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social to take, and so say we all.
This is a screenshot of a Kickstarter page for the Pioneer game by Mongoose. The text reads: "In Pioneer, we explore the advancing technologies of our time as space travel becomes ever more sophisticated. The use of AI in space to resolve complex problems and analyse immense stores of gathered data is inevitable and in the game. While Pioneer features the use of AI, please note that no AI was used in the creation of this game and it never will be. The official Mongoose position is that art needs an artist."

There are a very few, very sad, very lonely people out there who want to check the contents of other folks' pants without consent.
Everyone else just wants to have a wee.

Where this is reported to us we can/will investigate - there will be no tolerance for this kind of bullshit. Trans rights are human rights.

I have heard more than one report of Toilet Policing at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social , whether by con attendees, hotel guests or staff is unclear. Just wanna say, if you're pro toilet policing fuck off before I block you.

Ok, all the talk is loud and becoming white noise, so I'm away. Been an absolute blast of a convention, and brilliant to see so many excellent people.
